The management team has a lot of experience, but there is a fatal flaw: an assistant professor should never be expected to run a facility if you want them to get tenure, they have better/more important things to do like get funding, mentor students, and write papers. For this team [senior PI] should have been the lead. While I appreciate why Glass really needs the instrument and may want to be in charge of it, shame on GIT for allowing her to potentially jeopardize her beginning career."<br /><br />After first 2 rejections, I was told senior male colleague that perhaps it was better to swap my name as PI for a (more junior) male's name :)Jen Glasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949850537778286177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-46924079516014474272014-04-30T10:29:32.466-07:002014-04-30T10:29:32.466-07:00A few other versions to help understand the issue:...A few other versions to help understand the issue:<br /><br />1.
